Winter pastels

Monday, February 16, 2015

In a spring inspired winter look, pale pink, cream, and grey are a welcome break from the darker shades I've been gravitating towards. If only wearing pastels could be the fashion equivalent of a rain dance and make the warmer temps arrive sooner.

However, the one lovely constant is the lengthening of the days, and last week I forced myself to 'man-up' and took photos six out of the seven days - four of those days with the tripod, four in extreme cold, one in a snowstorm.

Unfortunately the trend did not continue into the start of this week, Sunday was too frightfully cold and windy to dare venture outside. I spent my day baking cookies. On Valentine's day I had a 'date' with my Mom, I got her flowers, she got me chocolate, we went to Starbucks and then saw Fifty Shades of Grey. Not a bad way to spend the weekend.

Such a pretty look! Yea, you were definitely brave! I've only taken 4 sets of outfit pictures since getting back from vacation 2 weeks ago, ha ha. Doing another one today and HOPEFULLY one in NYC tomorrow, haha. Unless it's too dark by the time my friend meets me.http://www.closet-fashionista.com/

Can't wait to wear light colours again! Currently I am mostly in black trousers and boots. I could start with blush and nude tops though. Why wait for spring? I very much doubt my mum (79) would appreciate Fifty Shades of Grey though ;-)Have a lovely week,Annette | Lady of Style

It's too bad this isn't the fashion equivalent of a weather dance that could end winter for you - that would be pretty spectacular. An it's such a great outfit. I would straight up ruin that white coat in like 15 minutes so I've got nothing but respect that you're carrying it so well.

I applaud you for venturing into the frigid weather all for the blog!! I love the soft colors of this outfit. My girlfriends are I are planning to have a GNO in the next week to watch 50 Shades of Gray. What did you think of it?

I'm looking at some really cold highs this week and I thought of you. You are awesome for getting out in a snow storm and taking pictures! I can't wait to see them. I bet they're beautiful. I love the layers and textures as well as the colors in this outfit. I agree-- It's very different from what you've been gravitating towards.

I love that you had a Valentine's Day date with your mom - such a sweet idea! And as for manning up to take photos, well, sometimes the temperature just hits a certain point and it can't be done. Plus, you got cookies out of one missed day of freezing, which I have to say I think there's very little harm in ;) As for this outfit, I actually don't know if I could love it more. While black will always be my favourite colour, there's something about soft shades that works so well in cold wear. And your coat is just gorgeous!xox,Cee

Im gravitating as well towards pastels. I think it must be wishing Spring is here and maybe it will work, spring will sprung. You look wonderful in these pastels. And how lovely that you had Valentine's Day with you mom. xoxoRamona

I spent Valentine's day driving to the beach … I'm all for that grey+pink combo, its been on my fave combo top 3 since high school.And there are those grey jeans again, I swear next time I come across a pair, I´m gonna try them on.
